Good time with grandchildren
This under used park is an excellent birding spot. It's essentially a large field surrounded by woods. When the field has been mowed, it's fairly easy going, but it can be a little demanding when the grass is high. Boots and bug juice are helpful. There are a couple of basketball courts, but no other facilities.
I haven't spent much time here in the Winter months, but Spring, Summer and Fall can be rewarding. It's reliable for Meadowlarks, Chats, Sparrows, Harriers, Prairie Warblers, Indigo Buntings, Common Yellowthroats and Grosbeaks. Friends tell me they find many more species.
It's only a mile or so from Wooton's Landing, and I often combine visits to both places in a single outing.
